20250076733 · 2025-03-06 ·

A module driving device includes a module holder configured to hold an optical module including a lens body and an imaging element; a connection member connected to the module holder such that the module holder is rockable about a first axial line that crosses a direction of an optical axis; a fixed-side member connected to the connection member such that the connection member is rockable about a second axial line that is perpendicular to an axial line direction of the first axial line; and a driver configured to move the module holder relative to the fixed-side member.

Systems and methods for generating depth maps using images captured by camera arrays incorporating cameras having different fields of view

A camera array, an imaging device and/or a method for capturing image that employ a plurality of imagers fabricated on a substrate is provided. Each imager includes a plurality of pixels. The plurality of imagers include a first imager having a first imaging characteristics and a second imager having a second imaging characteristics. The images generated by the plurality of imagers are processed to obtain an enhanced image compared to images captured by the imagers. Each imager may be associated with an optical element fabricated using a wafer level optics (WLO) technology.

Optical element driving mechanism

An optical element driving mechanism is provided. The optical element driving mechanism includes a movable portion, a fixed portion, and a driving assembly. The movable portion is used to connect the optical element. The movable portion may move relative to the fixed portion.
